Levo Gen 3 Upgrade brakes

[gibbers]

Just got a set of XT-8120 brakes for my Levo Expert which includes levers, callipers, hoses and i also got some new discs

Will i need to purchase post mount adapters, the discs are 203mm

Thanks

If your current rotors are 200mm you only need to put some 1,5mm washers under the calipers ...

Im about to go through the same exercise as the codes are giving endless problems.
Im just going to keep the current 220 and 200 rotors ... should be a basic swap without any washers or Mounts I think?

Yeah, if not changing the rotors the mounts will be fine

Thinking about it i will need an adapter for the SRAM shifter too

When I changed my brakes to Shimano, I used these 3min19sec Matcher I-Spec EV Adapter

I used the same and that dropper side adapter is shit at least with oneup lever, had to install the lever with normal clamp to get the lever to correct position…

Maybe we have different kind of thumb, because I was able to adjust the Oneup lever to fit.

Well that does explain the nasty noise my front brake is making

I just upgraded my Turbo Levo Expert Sram RS brakes which I did not like. Instead of swapping out everything I went with Code RSC levers and Sram HS2 Rotors both back and front in the same size as original. Also went with new stock SRAM Sintered pads. This is a major upgrade to the adjustability of the brakes as well as the stopping performance. Really like the new setup and it was an easy upgrade as hoses, calipers etc were fine.

Adjust your codes using this guys method. Made a world of difference with my expert's codes.
